Senior Lecturer, Course Coordinator Physiotherapy, Brisbane
Judy Hough is a physiotherapist researcher and academic. She works clinically as a physiotherapist consultant in the neonatal nursery at Mater Mothers Hospital and is an Honorary Senior Research Fellow, Child Health Research Centre - UQ. Clinically she provides advice on infant respiratory management to physiotherapists around the world. At ACU she leads paediatric and evidence-based physiotherapy practice and supervises students in the embedded honours program. Her research vision is to advance the supportive respiratory care of critically ill children and babies by using innovative bedside imaging and physiological tools such as electrical impedance tomography and lung ultrasound. Her research interests are in respiratory management of the infant and child and the use of technologies to measure lung function.
